On that day, all the fighters of the main force of the Qingdao First Army were on the field.

The record is not ideal.

Qingdao High School has a total of eleven hitters, and there are more than a dozen people who hit the ball, and they didn't even touch the ball in the whole process.

This is not talking about a mat, all the fighters of the Seido First Army have faced off against Kataoka at least three times. Like Yucheng, Sawamura, these top ranks, even played four times.

On this day, Kataoka pitched more than two hundred.

"It's a monster!"

That's what Jun Izakiki said when he finally commented on Kataoka. Kataoka's pitching, all the way to the end, was very powerful.

The eleven people who hit the ball were Kuramochi, Ryosuke Kominato, Jun Usashiki, Captain Yusei, Sawamura, Masuko, Chris, Miyuki, Hakushu, Sakai and Kominato Haruichi.

Senior Nanmu, including Xiaoya Shimi, didn't even touch the ball in the end.

Three strikeouts, three strikeouts.

Curveballs falling from a high altitude, mixed with straight balls, and a ball speed of more than 14 make it difficult for hitters to seize the opportunity to swing the bat.

The hit here is not a hit, it just means that the hitter touches the ball without using a short bat!

Of course, hits weren't entirely out of the question. In the second round, captain Tetsuya Yuki won the hit.

Four bats, two hits.

Tetsuya Yusei used his own strength to show the ambition of the four sticks of Seido High School.

In addition to the two hits he hit, there were five other people who hit hits.

They are Miyuki, Chris, Sawamura, Jun Izawashiki, and Ryosuke Kominato.

Faced with a luxurious lineup composed of the entire Seido High School team, Kataoka only lost 7 hits.

"This man, until now, still maintains the terrifying strength of a professional player!"

Ochiai originally watched Kataoka and was just a little admired, but now he is completely amazed.

When I was in high school, Ochiai also played baseball. His best record was reaching the second round of a tournament as a rotating substitute.

Although in the career path of coaching, the fall is not small. But in the era of players, Ochiai is a veritable weak chicken.

From his standpoint, it is impossible to understand why Kataoka did not directly participate in the draft of professional baseball, but chose to become the superintendent of Seido High School.

If nothing else, the salary gap alone is not something that ordinary people can refuse.

No matter how good Seido High School is to Kataoka, it is impossible to give him more than the salary of a professional player.

Even if Superintendent Kataoka is really interested in becoming an overseer, he can wait until he retires from his profession.

With professional experience and fame, Kataoka will have a smoother ride on the road to supervision.

"What a man you can't guess!"

After the training, Superintendent Kataoka took the initiative to find Sawamura.

"Your pitching ability is perfect! If you want to take it to the next level, there are two ways to go. ”

Two roads?

Although Sawamura had already faintly felt some signs of this, he still wanted to hear what Superintendent Kataoka said.

"Now that you've mastered your new pitching stance, your current pitching is incredibly fast in the eyes of the hitter. In addition, your own ball speed is not slow, and among high school pitchers, you can be regarded as a fast ball pitcher. With both prongs, your ball speed is enough. When the ball speed is enough, you only need to hone your change ball sharp, and your strength can naturally be improved to a higher level. ”

In fact, this suggestion, without Kataoka's words, Sawamura himself is also clear.

That's what he did in his previous life, honing all the colorful change balls sharp, and then using the ever-changing ball path to solve the opponent.

It's just that such an approach is flawed.

Of course, this approach is inevitably somewhat limited. After all, the most terrifying thing about really powerful hitters is their incomparably terrifying intuition, as long as the ball comes, no matter what changes, they just want to hit the ball out. In the face of such a hitter, no matter how sharp the change of the ball is, it is not enough. ”

Hearing Kataoka's words, Sawamura's eyes lit up at once.

Although he already has a clear idea in his heart, he is still not as straightforward as Kataoka.

It turned out that the path he chose was flawed from the beginning......

"What should I do if I face such a beater?"

Because of Kataoka's straightforwardness, Sawamura was also blunt, and he immediately asked.

"Don't you have a weapon in your own hand that is sufficient to win?"

What the?

Sawamura looked at Kataoka puzzled.

The way he looks gives Kataoka a rare sense of achievement.

Although he himself had a clear idea under Ochiai's prompting. But being able to educate Sawamura really made this strict overseer very happy.

"I'm afraid it's hard for you to reach the ball speed of Xiaogu in your whole life, and it doesn't even have to do with personal efforts. I've never been able to play at my best to over 145 kilometres, and that's what God has given us. But God is fair, especially to the gifted, don't underestimate your native quirk ball. Although the variation of this kind of ball is small, as long as you practice well, it is enough for you to deal with any hitter. ”

Sawamura never thought that Kataoka would suggest that he hone his quirk balls!

Quirk balls also have limitations, and if the opponent's swing is too strong, it is very likely that the quirk balls will be swept away.

Of all the balls in Sawamura, the Quirk Ball, although difficult, is definitely not a high-level product.

"Every pitcher has his own characteristics, and giving up his own characteristics is equivalent to giving up the basics. First of all, hone the killing moves that can be honed in your hands. As for your concerns, it's not like there's no way to solve them. ”

Kinky Ball's weakness that can be solved!

This is too shocking for Sawamura. He stared at Kataoka with a pair of hot eyes, waiting for his answer.

"Ball speed, ball power, good pitching rhythm."

Kataoka said seriously.

Sawamura was confused.

Ball speed, ball power, pitching rhythm!

Isn't that the most basic thing for pitchers? He hadn't let up on that.

"Have you ever thought about using the Quirk Ball as a deciding goal?"

Kataoka didn't wait for Sawamura to ask, he seemed to see through Sawamura's heart, and said directly.

This sentence, like a muffled bell, roared in Sawamura's mind.

yes, he never thought of using a quirk ball as a decisive goal!

Because he has other deciding goals~

Who's going to take a low-level ball as a deciding goal?

Even if Gu Xiao's straight ball is sharp to that extent, his future decisive ball will not be a straight ball.

"Try to use the quirk ball as the deciding goal, and give it your best with every ball. After that, there will be a windfall on your ball speed, and maybe you can't say anything. ”
